Twitter CEO Elon Musk has reinstated journalists’ accounts that were earlier suspended for allegedly doxxing his location in real-time, with the temporary suspensions earning the Wikipedia moniker “Thursday Night Massacre” and fueling questions over press freedom on the platform.
After the platform updated its policy prohibiting sharing people’s location in real-time—known as doxxing—due to personal safety risks, nine journalists’ accounts were suspended, according to an Epoch Times tally. As of press time, eight of those have been reactivated.
